Legislative Update Presentation by Senator Susan Rubio, Representing the 22nd District Senator Susan Rubio, representing the 22nd District, provided a brief presentation on bills to increase affordable housing and COVID relief to the San Gabriel Valley. She worked on a bill that created the San Gabriel Valley Regional Housing Trust, a Joint Power Authority, made up of 21 cities working together to bring affordable housing and homelessness resources to the San Gabriel Valley. She stated there are three projects in production, a 56-unit apartment complex, a 15-unit permanent supportive housing development, and a 54-unit affordable housing project. Senator Rubio also stated she brought direct funding to help local governments and educators with $5.625 million in state funding to the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments, to support affordable housing and homeless needs; $1.2 million in state funding for local public safety in the San Gabriel Valley; and $10 million to support teachers and school administrators to effectively implement the English Language Learners Roadmap Initiative. She noted she worked closely with Governor Newsom's team and other legislators to pass SB 91 — the COVID-19 Tenant Relief Act to help communities by extending COVID-19 tenant protections until June 30, 2021. The bill provides $2.6 billion in funding assistance to help landlords and tenants pay off the unpaid rental debt that would support relief for small businesses, restaurants, and nonprofits as well. She also co-authored SB 74 ("Keep California Working Act")to provide $2.6 billion in grant assistance to help deal with economic hardship caused by COVID-19, which she hopes passes. Senator Rubio continued that she was working on five bills that created the Housing Package, which includes bills to make sure a percentage of the produced housing is affordable. A second bill has specific language against gentrification and displacement. Third, she worked on SB 10, which replaced SB 50 that mandated cities to build housing, where to build, and how to build. SB 10 instead of a Rosemead City Council and Successor Agency to the Community Development Commission Regular Joint Meeting Minutes of February 9, 2021 Page 2 of 12 mandate,provides local governments the option to use the program to meet RHNA numbers. Lastly, emphasize equity across all communities and greater local control by making sure to take care of affordable housing and moderate income. She commended the City of Rosemead in supporting initiatives like SB 1307, the street lighting systems that helped the City leverage funding for other needs. Also, in partnering with the City to bring additional resources like diapers, food, school supplies, backpacks, and hotspot services for distant learning for families during the pandemic. Mayor Pro Tem Low thanked Senator Susan Rubio for sharing what she's advocating and working on in Sacramento on behalf of the 22nd District. Council Member Dang thanked Senator Susan Rubio for her presentation. He commended her office for being progressive and creative during the pandemic to help the San Gabriel Valley communities. Mr. Dang expressed he was excited to hear new legislation on development for affordable housing. Council Member Ly agreed with the City Council and expressed appreciation for Senator Susan Rubio's work for communities in the San Gabriel Valley; and for being the first legislator to present to the City Council in the City of Rosemead. Council Member Clark commended Senator Susan Rubio for her support and work with SB 1307,the lighting bill and the San Gabriel Valley Regional Housing Trust. She expressed appreciation for all that she is doing in the community. Mayor Armenta stated she appreciated Senator Susan Rubio's advocacy efforts and her hard work she is doing in Sacramento.

MATTERS FROM CITY MANAGER& STAFF A. Update on the City of Rosemead's Graffiti Mitigation Program At the December 8, 2020,the City Council discussed the City's Graffiti Mitigation Program. The City Council requested that staff return with an update on the graffiti program. Recommendation: That the City Council review and comment on this report. Director of Public Works Daste reported that at the December 8 City Council meeting, the Council inquired about the City's graffiti mitigation program. There were three distinct areas of discussion at the December 8 meeting. The first area of discussion was the City's graffiti mitigation program, communication with the Sheriffs department, and Caltrans. Currently,the City of Rosemead has two routes that staff proactively monitors for graffiti every day. These routes cover all three major arterials in the City and zone hotspots for graffiti activity.The overall graffiti program works when residents, City staff,Public Works staff,recreation staff,code enforcement, and our Sheriffs Department work in unison to ensure that graffiti is removed. The Public Services staff takes pictures of the graffiti on tablets before and after,which records the location,the material used, and hours it took to remove it. All the data is stored in the program,and the information is accessible by all City staff. Fiscal Year 20-21,staff already removed 14,138 locations of graffiti with five months remaining in the current fiscal year. The increase in graffiti may be attributed due to the pandemic, where people are at home or not in school. Based on the workload, most of the graffiti is removed within hours. The department's goal is to remove 90% of the graffiti within 24-hours, which aligns with the City's goals. The staff assesses each graffiti separately. For example, some graffiti discovered by staff at ten at night,was removed before the next day. Depending on the severity of the graffiti and where itis located, City staff tries to remove it. Public Works Manager Garwick added staff emails a graffiti report to the Sheriff s Department weekly on every CRM related to graffiti. The information includes before and after pictures, square footage, and location to recover restitution for those that are caught.Also,staff met with Caltrans to discuss on and off-ramp issues and graffiti. Caltrans agreed to help by providing City staff with the necessary paperwork such as encroachment permits to access their rights-of-ways and procure Rosemead City Council and Successor Agency to the Community Development Commission Regular Joint Meeting Minutes of February 9, 2021 Page 5of12 the chemical they use. The City will see more active removal of graffiti in Caltrans jurisdictions. Council Member Ly thanked staff for coordinating the meeting with Caltrans to discuss recent concerns with on and off-ramps and graffiti abatement. He requested that staff stay consistent in removing graffiti quickly and follow the Standard Operating Procedure to discourage people from continuing these activities. Council Member Clark asked if there was a program where the City can match the paint to a building to provide to a property owner. She expressed concerns with areas that are painted and do not match the original color. - City Manager Molleda stated there is no program to provide paint to property owners. It was discussed that giving paint to property owners has a cost and staff is assessing other options. Council Member Dang commend the staff for their work in graffiti abatement. Also, thanked Mayor Pro Tem Low and Senator Susan Rubio's staff for initiating the Caltrans meeting to address the on and off-ramp and graffiti issues. Mayor Pro Tem Low reported that the meeting with Caltrans was very successful. She looks forward to working with Caltrans and making the freeway entrances scenario better for the community. Secondly, suggested that City staff continue to work with the Sheriffs Department in trying to catch the people doing graffiti. Mayor Armenta inquired about the binder containing pictures of graffiti as documentation of monikers, which the Sheriffs Department used when doing arrest. • Chief of Police Lt. Duong replied the binder was part of the old system, which is no longer being used. The Sheriffs Department works with the City's Code Enforcement Officers together to identify monikers. It is difficult to arrest and charge someone through the District Attorney's Office with these types of crimes. When a suspect is tied to a moniker, it indicates a more significant crime that is monitored and information is gathered. Once a suspect is caught, usually that graffiti moniker is not seeing. Mayor Armenta reiterated that the Sheriffs Department still works with all the entities to ensure that everything has been documented. Chief of Police Lt. Duong replied correct. Mayor Armenta asked for clarification of the two graffiti routes being driven by staff to capture the graffiti. Public Works Manager Garwick explained there are two routes the graffiti crew drives. The first route begins on Mission Drive, and they go down westbound to Rosemead City Council and Successor Agency to the Community Development Commission Regular Joint Meeting Minutes of February 9, 2021 Page 6of12 Walnut Grove Avenue until they get to Fern Avenue. They drive down Angelus Avenue, down to Klingerman Avenue, and back to Walnut Grove. They go up and down San Gabriel Boulevard,drive towards New Avenue down to Del Mar Avenue and drive down to Garvey Avenue. They also drive on the perimeter of the 10- freeway on Helman Avenue. The second route goes on Artson Avenue to Dorothy and Hershey Avenue. They drive on Rosemead Boulevard to the north end of the City. The graffiti crew is always looking at two things, proactive removal, graffiti they see, and reactive graffiti, which is reported through the hotline or the CRM system. The graffiti crew goes through the entire City on the arterials initially. Then they go after the reported graffiti from the hotline or CRM system. Based on last year's reports, there is a 90 percent graffiti removal rate within 24-hours. The CRM system allows staff to store data such as before and after pictures of graffiti removal and the time it took to remove that graffiti. Mayor Armenta asked what graffiti removal Mr. Garwick was referring to that was less than 24-hours. Public Works Manager Garwick stated the graffiti crew had removed 90 percent of graffiti within hours, based on 138 locations. There were about four locations that took over two days to removed graffiti. Mayor Armenta stated she noticed graffiti on Garvey Avenue on store windows, walls, and other properties that have not been abated. Therefore, she asked to explain the 90 percent graffiti removal Mr. Garwick referred to because she continues to see graffiti on Garvey Avenue. Public Works Manager Garwick assured Mayor Armenta graffiti is removed within hours, as the CRM system provides staff with pinpoint target locations. He would check back on Garvey Avenue to ensure no graffiti removal was missed. Mayor Armenta asked if the stretch of Garvey Avenue is being checked on both sides for graffiti daily. Public Works Manager Garwick replied the graffiti crew starts their shift at 5 a.m. and drive their routes to cover both sides on Garvey Avenue from the bridge to New Avenue. Mayor Armenta asked how the City addresses graffiti on private property. Public Works Manager Garwick explained that graffiti on private property requires the property owner to complete an ingress-egress form. However, graffiti on residential property is referred to Code Enforcement. Mayor Armenta asked what the 90 percent graffiti removal consists of if permission is required to abate graffiti on private properties. Rosemead City Council and Successor Agency to the Community Development Commission Regular Joint Meeting Minutes of February 9, 2021 Page 7 of 12 Public Works Manager Garwick explained the 90 percent graffiti abatement entails public right-of-way locations. Any graffiti reported through the CRM system provides data such as time spent, pictures to document, restitution numbers for the Sheriff Department to use. The graffiti crew cannot go on private property for residential locations, therefore referred to Code Enforcement. Mayor Armenta stated that you see graffiti on storefronts that is not in the City's right-of-way. She asked Mr. Garwick to explain what is meant when talking about public right-of-way locations. Public Works Manager Garwick replied that public right-of-way locations include accessible locations that do not need City staff permission to abate graffiti such as city streets, medians,parks, sidewalks, and bridges. Mayor Armenta thanked Mr. Garwick for his explanation because it's essential for residents to understand how graffiti is removed and what the statistics mean. Mayor Pro Tem Low agreed that clarifying what the 90 percent of graffiti removal consists of is important for residents to understand. Also, residents need to realize that the City cannot go in and clean up the graffiti if they are on private property. Council Member Clark asked when staff is on their route, what do they do when they see graffiti on private property such as a market. Public Works Manager Garwick replied staff would notify Code Enforcement and provide the graffiti location. Depending on the situation, graffiti may get removed. Code Enforcement contacts the property owner. They oversee maintenance reports on residential and commercial buildings. Mayor Armenta posed an example and asked if a resident has a block wall with graffiti and the property owner is financially unable to pay for the removal; what does the City do. Is there a policy for such situations? City Manager Molleda replied the situation would be referred to Code Enforcement first. Assistant City Manager Kim explained that Code Enforcement would create a CRM on the matter for documentation. Then, contact the property owner about the issue, and work with the property owner to resolve the proceeding issue. There is no one answer for every scenario when there are difficulties,but it depends on the situation. The staff tries to work with the property owner to resolve that issue in the best possible manner. Mayor Armenta asked if the City removes the graffiti. Assistant City Manager Kim replied it depends on whether the graffiti is invasive or offensive, the City does go in and do remediation. However, it depends since it Rosemead City Council and Successor Agency to the Community Development Commission Regular Joint Meeting Minutes of Februafy 9, 2021 Page 8 of 12 is private property. City staff cannot enter or do work on private property and private assets or buildings. Mayor Armenta asked what if the property owner reached out to the City to remove the graffiti and gave permission to go in the property. Assistant City Manager Kim reiterated that city staff cannot do maintenance work since it is private property. If the graffiti is offensive, then the Public Works staff will remove it. But it is the property owners' responsibility to remove the graffiti or any other property maintenance issue. City Manager Molleda added that its situational and depends on the graffiti if it is offensive. Mayor Armenta stated that many times policy decisions are being adhered to or directed by non-council members. She said that she would bring back what policy decisions the City Council wants to make at a future meeting. She expressed that many things are occurring are of policy decisions,and those policy decision-makers are the City Council. Mayor Pro Tem Low stated that if the City Council agrees on a policy, it will help staff make decisions. City staff has been doing the best they can to make decisions on what to do. 111 Council Member Dang agreed that the decision-making is the body of the Council. Stated that the issue staff is having is that there is no city ordinance that authorizes staff to clean private property. There is a legal issue such as damaging private property unintentionally. The staff has been making more of an administrative decision; if the graffiti is offensive,they get rid of it right away. If the City Council wants something more proactive, agrees with bringing back a policy or ordinance to a future meeting. Council Member Ly asked if the graffiti crew changes or remains the same every day. Public Works Manager Garwick explained the graffiti crew is the same three staff. One staff is a part-timer who works on weekends and the other two staff that remove graffiti during the week. They all know the routes well as they have been doing it for a long time. Council Member Ly asked for clarification if staff sees graffiti on private property, do they report it to Code Enforcement. Public Works Manager Garwick explained that two of the staff have iPhones and can text,email,and create CRMs.They keep direct contact with Code Enforcement, regularly reporting residential graffiti, and homeless problems. Rosemead City Council and Successor Agency to the Community Development Commission Regular Joint Meeting Minutes of February 9, 2021 Page 9of12 Council Member Ly stated if there is graffiti on a private business,for example,the Taiwan Center Sign and its reported and if the graffiti is still there the next day, does staff report it again? What is the standard procedure? Public Works Manager Garwick explained that if graffiti is reported and is still on there the following day, the graffiti crew will follow up with Code Enforcement and contact the property owner to resolve it. If the property owner needs help, then Code Enforcement notifies the staff. Since its private property, there is usually a form that must be completed to allow the city to remove the graffiti from the sign. Council Member Ly reiterated that roughly it takes 48 to 72 hours for that type of graffiti to be removed on private property. Public Works Manager Garwick added the CRM system also provides information about a case on how long it has been open. For example, when a CRM is created and resolved,the data remains in the system,making it easier for Code Enforcement to open a case and monitor that case regularly until it's closed. Assistant City Manager Kim stated that when a request is submitted by a resident, property owner, or staff, it's recorded in the CRM system. All the field staff are assigned iPhones and have the CRM system installed as an app. They are able to log into the system and see what the activity has been. They can also see the history, tracking, and the activity of that CRM case. They call or text each other and update each other on the status of individual cases. 111 Council Member Ly asked who the overall person is responsible for closing out the specific CRMs on graffiti related to commercial or residential properties. Assistant City Manager Kim replied closing out a CRM case depends on who was assigned the case. Generally, if the graffiti is on private property, then it is •forwarded to Code Enforcement Department. A Code Enforcement officer will follow up, resolve the case, and close the CRM case. In some instances, if Public Works could abate the graffiti because it had offensive language, Public Works staff would complete the CRM and close it. Mayor Armenta stated in the past, the City Council would receive weekly reports on CRMs. She asked to receive those weekly CRM reports again. City Manager Molleda replied staff would distribute that information in the future. Council Member Clark how can she report any graffiti if she sees it. City Manager Molleda stated she could call staff, text, email, or submit a CRM. Mayor Pro Tem Low suggested using the Go request app is much easier to report. I Rosemead City Council and Successor Agency to the Community Development Commission Regular Joint Meeting Minutes of February 9, 2021 Page 10 of 12 B. Approval of Third Amendment to City Manager Employment Agreement The City and the City Manager entered into an Employment Agreement ("Agreement") on January 16, 2018. The Contract was extended and amended in February 2019 and February 2020. Section 3 of the Agreement permits the City Council to conduct performance evaluations and grant increases in salary. Pursuant to Section 3 (a)(i)(1) of the Agreement, the City Council conducted the City Manager's performance evaluation on January 26, 2021. The City Manager received an "exceeds expectations" review with a 4.0 rating. An exceeds expectations review entitles the City Manager to a 4% salary increase. A 4% increase would bring the City Manager's total annual salary to $232,998.27. The City Council is also being asked by the City Manager to change the current severance of 9-months pay and benefits to 12-months pay and benefits in the event of a not for cause termination by the City Council. Recommendation: That the City Council consider approving an amendment to the City Manager's Employment Agreement granting a 4% salary merit increase for an "exceeds expectations" performance evaluation to $232,998.27; and consider approving an amendment that would change the current severance of 9-months pay and benefits to 12-months pay and benefits. Mayor Armenta stated she was not in agreement with some of the recommended items and tabled the item to the next meeting. She expressed concerns about raising a 4 percent salary increase to $232,998.27 during a pandemic when other city managers took a 10 percent cut. She stated she had not had a chance to voice her opinions and tabled the item. C. COVID-19 Update This is a recurring item that will be on the agenda to update the City Council on items related to COVID-19. Recommendation: That the City Council discuss and provide further direction. City Manager Molleda reported the Los Angeles County Public Health Department issued an update to the order that was updated on January 25. The revised order no longer included a mandatory directive of travel, and those restrictions had been lifted. However, on February 3, Los Angeles County Public Health Department -issued a new travel advisory which requires all persons arriving or returning to the County of Los Angeles,from other states or countries to quarantine for ten days. Also,the City of Rosemead has a total of 4,575 confirmed COVID-19 cases and 99 deaths. Mayor Armenta expressed concerns about the positivity rate and death rates. The 111 City had the lowest rates during the beginning of the pandemic. She stressed the Rosemead City Council and Successor Agency to the Community Development Commission Regular Joint Meeting Minutes of February 9, 2021 Page 11 of 12 City has limited authority on how to regulate businesses during the pandemic. The City needs to do its due diligence in reaching out to businesses and making sure that they are adhering to the County's guidelines. She also inquired if the park playgrounds are open to the public. City Manager Molleda replied the park playgrounds are open since January 25, when the new order was issued. 6. MATTERS FROM MAYOR& CITY COUNCIL A. Council Comments Mayor Armenta stated that she would like to bring before the City Council the decision-makers and policymakers' topic. Also, she requested the City Council share their opinion and vote on when street sweeping citations shall resume. She explained that now street sweeping citations are suspended, but the City Council should make the decision. There are still many people home due to the pandemic, and availability of parking is a concern. The City Council is the City's decision- makers and should decide when to resume street sweeping citations. Mayor Pro Tern Low expressed concern that the City Council only meets twice a month and if certain things the Council may not be able to react quickly during the pandemic. Mayor Armenta stated that concerns could be addressed in a policy that would allow flexibility if the County moves into a different color tier. The City would align with state or County requirements based on the policy. For example, the day the Governor says that we are closing California again, or if LA County says we need to close again, then the next day would be the day the City suspends street sweeping citations. She requested to place this item on a future agenda,so decisions are made with the City Council's input. The City Council should have an opportunity to have input because the community comes and complains to the City Council, and everything has to be taken into consideration. 7. ADJOURNMENT Mayor Armenta adjourned the meeting at 8:27 p.m. The next regular meeting will take place on February 23, 2021, at 7:00 p.m. in the Rosemead City al ouncil Chamber. , 1a Ericka Hernandez, City Clerk APP/R-O _ ; Polty' ow, .rayor Rosemead City Council and Successor Agency to the Community Development Commission Regular Joint Meeting Minutes of February 9, 2021 Page 12 of 12
